Chapter 020: Something Happened!
Yun Tian and the others followed closely behind Xu Lao, not because they were afraid of getting lost, but more about a sense of nervousness and a hint of fear.
Although Yun Tian came from a small mountain village and had never seen much of the world, despite this, Yun Tian could still realize that this Shen Mansion was unusual. The mansion is remote and secretive, heavily guarded outside the door, and the patrols inside the mansion are constant, and their expressions are solemn, as if they are ready to draw their swords and fight at any time. This is by no means an ordinary family in the mansion, it is said that the Nanfu and the Shen Mansion should be between the two in terms of status and status, but they are two completely different scenes.
After walking through a quiet path paved with stones, you came to a side hall. Although it is not luxurious, it can be regarded as exquisite and comfortable.
"Hehe... The two young masters must be tired today, you can rest here for a while, the food has been prepared, I will immediately order someone to bring it up, the master still has some trivial matters to deal with, and he will come back when he is done, if there is something, just order these subordinates directly" Mr. Xu briefly explained
"Old Xu, you are too polite, I am an outsider from time to time, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, hehe......" Zi Xiuwei arched his hand.
"Hehe... That's good, the old man does have some things to deal with, so he will retreat first" Xu Lao turned around and walked out.
"You guys go down first, I'll call you if there's anything" Zixiu waited for Xu Lao to go away, and then instructed the subordinates on the side.
"This kid's heart is really enough, needless to say, this must have something to say, so he can break those subordinates" Yun Tian himself thought in his heart.
As expected, after those subordinates walked cleanly, Zixiu closed the door and walked quickly towards Yuntian. "Do you feel ...... It's very..."Zixiu was halfway through his words, but he stopped again.
"What? are you talking about?" Yun Tian couldn't help but laugh at this moment, and said with a relaxed look. It was the first time Yun Tian had seen this little young master have an anxious expression, and it was really not easy for a young master like Zi Xiu, who didn't seem to care about anything, to have a trace of anxious expression.
"It's very abnormal, it's not the first time I've come to Shen Mansion, my father used to take me around every year, but this time...... This time it was a completely different story."
"This time is different, if it weren't for this time, I wouldn't have known that the Shen family still has a mansion in such a remote and secluded place, I think something must be happening, what do you say" Zi Xiu looked at the clouds on the side.
"It's a little strange, but after all, we are guests, don't worry so much, it's still that sentence, if you come, you will be safe" Yun Tian said lightly, his tone was very peaceful, without a trace of waves, just this calmness is by no means comparable to ordinary peers.
"Yes, it is estimated that nothing will happen, otherwise, Master Shen will not let us come over" Zixiu nodded and said.
"That's it, don't think about it so much, you're not too tired to run around in the car" Yun Tian took a big sip of tea on the table and said jokingly.
"That's what you say, it's really ......"
"Knock... Young Master Nan, dinner has been prepared, will I bring it to you now" Before Zixiu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a slight knock on the door outside.
"Good"
Along the way, in order to be in a hurry, it was enough for these two people to toss, especially the young master Zixiu, who kept complaining along the way. can be regarded as arriving in Yunxia Town, I wanted to have a good meal after entering the house, and then sleep beautifully. But he didn't expect the plan to catch up with the change, and the car went directly through the town and out of the city.
Finally, I finally arrived at my destination, but when I got off the bus, I was a little overwhelmed for a while, and the feeling of physical exhaustion had long been left behind.
It wasn't until I heard Yun Tian say that my body seemed to lose my muscles and bones in an instant, I felt sore, and my stomach began to growl.
While the two were chatting, the food had already been brought in one after another. Looking at this meal, the eyes of the two began to glow, swallowed their saliva, and didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, they went up and began to eat seaweed, and they were very happy to eat.
I know that this is the little master of Nanfu, but I don't know that I think I am a refugee picked up from outside.
"Hahaha... Eat slowly, no one will rob you" Just as the two of them were eating hotly, a burst of laughter came from outside, and the person who came was the master of this Shen Mansion - Shen Linfeng.
Zi Xiu recognized it at a glance, and immediately stood up and walked up quickly, "Uncle Shen, you're done" Zi Xiu once again showed his innocent smile.
Yun Tian also put down the dishes and chopsticks and left his seat. This Master Shen is the same age as Master Nan, but his temperament is completely different. Master Nan is an authentic businessman, but this Shen Linfeng is different, although Master Shen is also in business, he is not a complete businessman.
On the way, I more or less heard some deeds about this old man Shen from Zixiu's mouth. This old man Shen was born in a wealthy family, he joined the army when he was young, and it is said that he also made military exploits. Later, due to family reasons, he left the army and came back to inherit the ancestral business. But this old man Shen is not willing to be a businessman for the rest of his life, so he wanders around from time to time. The affairs of the house were all entrusted to the old man Xu and his younger brother.
Therefore, it seems that this old man Shen's extraordinary spirit may have something to do with his previous participation in the army. It feels very refreshing and comfortable.
"Let me see my nephew Xiuxian, we haven't seen each other for two or three years, well, yes, they have grown into a big boy, better than your father hahaha......" Shen Linfeng nodded while looking at Zixiu back and forth.
It can be seen from his kind and intimate eyes that he really loves Zixiu as his own child.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, Uncle Shen, you are still so martial and younger, hehe......" Zixiu was also very kind to Shen Linfeng, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hahaha...... You kid, you're getting more and more flamboyant, huh, this is ......" Shen Linfeng's eyes inadvertently swept to Yuntian on the side, and his brows furrowed slightly and he said with some doubts.
Originally, it was said that if you want to say that you are a scholar of Zixiu, you shouldn't be so casual as an equal to your master. So Shen Linfeng felt a little doubtful.
"Oooh... I was so excited to see Uncle Xu just now that I forgot to introduce it, this is my friend Yue Yuntian, who accompanied me to study in Huacheng this time" Zi Xiu raised his hand slightly in the direction of Yuntian.
"Master Shen" Yuntian took a step forward and bent down slightly, and replied respectfully. It is estimated that this kind of scene will be indispensable in the future, Yun Tian thought in his heart.
"Uh-huh, this lad... It's not easy" Shen Linfeng's eyes swept over Yun Tian's body from head to toe, first with some surprise, and then the corners of his mouth drew a trace of arc, and said in a somewhat incomprehensible tone.
The two of them sat down and exchanged a few words of greetings in the parents, leaving Yuntian to sit aside and think about Shen Linfeng's words just now. What do you mean by "not simple?" Could it be seen from the way I ate just now? I haven't had any communication with Master Shen, so why did such a sentence suddenly pop up. Although Yun Tian was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't have any reflection in his facial expression.
"Hehe... It's not early, you're going all the way, you're definitely tired, let's go rest first, you'll have to stay here a little longer this time" About another quarter of an hour passed. Shen Linfeng stood up and said to Zi Xiu.
"Oh, by the way, look at my brain, I almost forgot to get down to business" Shen Linfeng, who had just turned around and was about to go out, suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, and said with a smile on his head.
"I have something to do tomorrow, you just go around the house, this is not like the city, it is too remote, if you have anything to do, just tell Xiao Li directly" Shen Linfeng pointed to a young man on the side.
"What's the matter? Is Uncle Shen going out tomorrow?" "Is Old Shen going with him?" Zi Xiu said with a feeling of incredulity.
"Well, there is something to do tomorrow, and Elder Xu will follow, okay, let's go and rest" Shen Lingfeng said with a smile. It can be seen from his expression that when talking about going out tomorrow, Master Shen's expression has a slight imperceptible change.
While speaking, Master Shen and his entourage had already walked away. The remaining servants led the two of them towards the guest room. The room was very close, and it was not long before there were two rooms next to each other.
"Young Master Nan, this is your two room, what do you have to say..."
"Okay, I know, you guys should retreat first" Before the subordinate could finish speaking, he was hurriedly interrupted by Zi Xiu.
The two entered the room, and after Zixiu looked left and right to make sure that there was no one, he quickly closed the door.
"I think something important must have happened, or it has already happened," Zixiu turned around and said with a serious face.
"I also think something is not right, by the way, why are you so sure all of a sudden"
"Xu Lao can be said to be the second-in-command in addition to Uncle Shen, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Xu Lao to go out casually, especially with Uncle Shen, this should be the first time in my memory, based on this alone, I feel that there must be something strange" Zi Xiu said word by word.
"What do you think?" Zi Xiu frowned slightly.
"By the way, on the way back just now, I saw that the lights in the hall were still on, maybe they haven't dispersed yet, or we two..."
Zi Xiu suddenly had an idea, glanced at the cloud angel, and showed a wicked smile.
"Why don't we ...... Go to sleep," Yun Tian said in the same tone as Zixiu just now.
Zixiu seemed to have been suddenly splashed with a basin of cold water, and his face was full of black lines.
"Hehe, I know what you want to do, but we're here for a temporary boarding night this time, so don't look for trouble, besides, even if there is really something, what else can we do besides helping a little" Yun Tian was very clear about the thoughts in Zi Xiu's mind, although Yun Tian was also very curious, but he was not as childish as Zi Xiu. Reason still prevailed.
"What you said is not right, the relationship between our two families is very good, Uncle Shen has loved me very much since I was a child, if something really happens, I can't watch it" Zixiu suddenly changed his tone, and used a righteous and awe-inspiring tone to cover up for himself wanting to join in the fun.
"Stop, stop...... Let's go, let's go" Yun Tian's brain was a little big when he heard this, he rolled his eyes, and said in a tone that I was convinced, a little speechless.
"Hey...... You know me, let's go" The two crept out of the room and tiptoed down the hall. After a while, they came to the front of the hall, stopped under a window, and the two little heads slowly raised their heads and looked in through the window.
"Old Xu, are you ready for tomorrow's things" The speaker was Shen Linfeng, and his expression was as serious as the two of them just now.
"Back to the master, it has been dealt with properly, the manpower has been prepared, and there are currently 7 Quit people who have promised to help" Xu Lao's attitude was also very serious.
"Hmm, there are so many?" asked Shen Linfeng in disbelief.
"Will there be a brave man under the heavy reward" Xu Lao also smiled helplessly
"That's enough......" Shen Linfeng slowly stood up, his eyes a little helpless looking in the direction of the mountain range in the distance.
"Master, it's just ......" Old Xu frowned, as if he had something to say, but he seemed to hesitate about something.
"Just what? Old Xu, it's already this time, there's nothing taboo anymore, let's say it" Shen Linfeng said in a flat tone, retracted his gaze, turned around and sat down slowly, and picked up the teacup on the table casually.
"Yes," Xu Laowei arched his hand
"About this Kong Ling's haunt in Fengkun Mountain, it's just a rumor of some hunters in the town, whether there is Kong Ling in the mountain is still uncertain, even if there is really Kong Ling haunted, what...... Can you be sure that there really is Kong Ling's egg?" Xu Lao obviously felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this at this time, but for the sake of the Shen Mansion, he had to say it.
“... I can't be sure" Shen Linfeng just wanted to drink tea, after hearing Xu Lao's words, the teacup stayed in his mouth, stayed for a while, and slowly put the teacup back, and there was not the slightest ripple in his voice.
"Old man understands" Elder Xu's face became a little imperceptible after hearing Shen Linfeng's answer, but in just a moment, Elder Xu recovered the expression just now, but this time it was more resolute. Xu Lao didn't guess Shen Linfeng's answer, but simply replied with four words.
"I'm going to make the final preparations" It's just that in an instant, Xu Lao understood what Shen Linfeng meant, as the second-in-command of the Shen Mansion, Shen Linfeng's left and right hands, Xu Lao is the person who knows Shen Linfeng best. Only then did Elder Xu realize that Shen Linfeng attached so much importance to this matter, and was not even afraid of life and death.
"Qing'er's fate is in one fell swoop here......" After Elder Xu retreated, Shen Linfeng said with a slight melancholy to the hazy mountains in the distance.
"Is it Feng Kunshan!?" Zi Xiu lowered his voice and exclaimed, his cheeks covered with shock.
"Feng Kunshan, what's wrong with Feng Kunshan?" Yun Tian asked with some confusion.
"Fengkun Mountain is the place where Xu Lao picked up a life back then......"
